Perpetual Stew
A perpetual stew, also known as forever soup, hunter's pot or hunter's stew, is a pot into which foodstuffs are placed and cooked, continuously. The pot is never or rarely emptied, and ingredients and liquid are replenished as necessary. Such foods can continue cooking for decades or longer if properly maintained. The concept is often a common element in descriptions of medieval inns. Foods prepared in a perpetual stew have been described as being flavourful due to the manner in which the ingredients blend together. Various ingredients can be used in a perpetual stew such as root vegetables, tubers (potatoes, yams, etc.) and various meats. Historical examples Perpetual stews are speculated to have been common in medieval cuisine, often as pottage or pot-au-feu: A batch of pot-au-feu was claimed by one writer to be maintained as a perpetual stew in Perpignan from the 15th century until World War II, when it ran out of ingredients to keep the stew going due to the German occupa ...

French Cuisine

French cheese, Cheese and French wine, wine are a major part of the cuisine. They play different roles regionally and nationally, with many variations and ''appellation d'origine contrôlée'' (AOC) (regulated appellation) laws.

Bone Marrow (food)
Humans widely use the bone marrow of animals as food. It consists of yellow marrow contained in long bones. There is also red marrow, which contains more nutrients than yellow marrow. It may be found in bone-in cuts of meat purchased from a butcher or supermarket. History Many cultures have used bone marrow as food throughout history. Some anthropologists believe that early humans were scavengers rather than hunters in some regions of the world. Marrow would have been a useful food source (largely due to its fat content) for tool-using hominids, who were able to crack open the bones of carcasses left by apex predators such as lions and wolves.Bruce Bower"Hunting ancient scavengers – some anthropologists say early humans were scavengers, not hunters" ''Science News''. 9 March 1985. Retrieved 16 February 2013. . Retrieved March 23, 2019. Stones shaped like hand-sized balls have been revealed as tools used for cracking open bones to get access to the marrow, and go back almo ...

Brisket
Brisket is a cut of meat from the breast or lower chest of beef or veal. The beef brisket is one of the nine beef primal cuts, though the definition of the cut differs internationally. The brisket muscles include the Pectoralis major, superficial and Pectoralis minor, deep pectorals. As cattle do not have collar bones, these muscles support about 60% of the body weight of standing or moving cattle. This requires a significant amount of connective tissue, so the resulting meat must be cooked correctly to tenderise it. According to the ''Random House Dictionary of the English Language'', Second Edition, the term derives from the Middle English ''brusket'' which comes from the earlier Old Norse language, Old Norse ''wikt:brjósk, brjósk'', meaning cartilage. The cut overlies the sternum, ribs, and connecting costal cartilages. Method of cooking Briskets can be cooked in many ways, including baking, boiling and roasting. Basting (cooking), Basting of the meat is often done dur ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Rib Steak
A rib steak (known as côte de bœuf or tomahawk steak in the UK) is a beefsteak sliced from the rib primal of a beef animal, with rib bone attached. In the United States, the term rib eye steak is used for a rib steak with the bone removed; however, in some areas, and outside the US, the terms are often used interchangeably. The "rib eye" or " ribeye" was originally, the central portion of the rib steak, without the bone, resembling an eye. The rib steak can also be prepared as a tomahawk steak which requires the butcher to leave the rib bone intact, french trim the bone and leave it at least five inches long. The tomahawk steak resembles the Native American tomahawk axe from which it gets its name. It is considered a more flavorful cut than other steaks, such as the filet, due to the muscle being exercised by the animal during its life. It is the marbling of fat that makes this suitable for slow roasting or grilling cooked to different degrees of doneness. Marbling also ...

Entrecôte
''Entrecôte'' () is a French term for a premium cut of beef used for steaks and roasts. A traditional ''entrecôte'' is a boneless cut from the rib area corresponding to the steaks known in different parts of the English-speaking world as Rib steak, rib, Rib eye steak, rib eye, Scotch fillet, Club steak, club, or Delmonico. The muscle group concerned is the ''longissimus dorsi'', which runs down the back of the animal adjacent to the vertebrae and above the rib cage, and continues into the hind quarter. Once past the rib cage into the area adjacent to the lumbar vertebrae, this muscle group is no longer called an "entrecôte"—at that point it becomes a sirloin/strip steak (UK/N.Am, respectively), or a ''contre-filet'' in French.

Oxtail
Oxtail (occasionally spelled ox tail or ox-tail) is the culinary name for the tail of cattle. While the word once meant only the tail of an ox, today it can also refer to the tails of other cattle. An oxtail typically weighs around and is skinned and cut into shorter lengths for sale. Oxtail is a gelatin-rich meat, which is usually slow-cooked as a stew or braised. It is a traditional stock base for oxtail soup. Traditional preparations involve slow cooking, so some modern recipes take a shortcut using a pressure cooker. Versions Oxtail is the main ingredient of the Italian dish '' coda alla vaccinara'' (a classic of Roman cuisine). It is a popular flavour for powdered, instant and premade canned soups in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Oxtails are also one of the popular bases for terrine-like , the Eastern European aspic dish, also prepared from cows' knees, pig trotters or ears.
